About Mariya
I help multilingual adults in the UK develop the English they need for everyday life, work, further study and professional situations.
As a CELTA-qualified English and ESOL teacher, I work with adults who want to improve their speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as their confidence using English in real-life situations.
My background spans English language teaching, adult education and inclusive education. I take a calm, practical and diagnostic approach, adapting lessons to your current level, goals and the situations in which you need to use English.
For learners who need English for work, I can also focus on job applications and interviews, workplace conversations, meetings, presentations and professional communication. My specialist interest is helping multilingual professionals use English more effectively when they need to think, speak and respond in real time.
My credentials:
• CELTA-qualified English teacher
• Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
• TESOL Certificate
• Master of Education (MEd)
• 20+ years of experience across education and English language teaching

Lessons are tailored to your English level, goals and the situations you need English for.
We can work on:
• speaking and listening for everyday communication
• reading and writing for life in the UK
• vocabulary and grammar
• pronunciation and intelligibility
• understanding different accents and spoken English
• building fluency and confidence
• English for work and job interviews
• workplace conversations, meetings and presentations
• communicating with colleagues, customers and other professionals
• practical English for further study and professional development
Lessons combine targeted language input with guided practice and plenty of opportunities to use English yourself. We work with realistic situations rather than relying only on textbook exercises, so you can practise understanding, responding, asking questions, explaining yourself and keeping a conversation going.
For learners who use English at work, we can also focus on real-time communication: finding the right words, organising your ideas, responding spontaneously and communicating clearly when conversations become less predictable.

I have worked with Mariya as my English coach for a long time. She helped me to understand how to use English better at work and She helped me learn how to focus on what is important when I speak, instead of thinking too much about every word and worrying about making mistakes. Most importantly, I became more confident in my team and taking part in conversations. I now feel more like myself, even when speaking English.Mariya understands that workplace needs a different way to learn English. Her coaching helped me use English in real work situations, not just learn English in a classroom. Thanks Maria.
Before, I didn't like speaking English at work. I was nervous, and I thought I might make mistakes. With Mariya, we practised real work situations. That helped me speak with more confidence. Now, I feel more comfortable talking with international colleagues and guest musicians. I'm still learning, but I'm not so afraid anymore. Thank you, Mariya.
I have had the privilege of mentoring Mariya throughout her career as an English coach. Through our professional partnership, I have seen first-hand her exceptional skills as an educator, practitioner and peer.
Mariya specialises in helping multilingual professionals communicate clearly and confidently when the pressure is on. She combines her experience in English teaching with advanced training in task-based learning to create practical, purposeful learning experiences built around the kinds of communication professionals actually face at work.
What I appreciate most about Mariya is her supportive and reflective teaching style. She does not simply provide answers or language solutions. She helps learners understand how they communicate, identify what is getting in the way, and develop strategies they can apply independently beyond the lesson.
Having worked closely with Mariya on professional development projects, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to professionals who want to strengthen their English and become clearer, more confident communicators in demanding workplace situations.I took part in a course Mariya prepared for me. After I took part in the course, I had a few patients who speak English. I felt more confident speaking to them, and the consultations were much easier for me. I think I have improved my vocabulary and speaking skills because now I’m not searching for the words I need as before. This helped me feel more prepared and confident when speaking with English-speaking patients.
